Status update Episode 3 (Patreon)
Content
Just two more days and I'm fully back from my vacation, meaning I have two whole weeks to work full-time on game development. I have recharged my batteries, but I did work pretty much this week.
I have posed a lot of static renders and only a few scenes remain to be posed. Two scenes are missing some dialogue.
I have about 5-8 more animations to pose and render. The current animation queue has ~15 animations left to render.
I've done several coding tasks and there are ~10 left to do, as I always remember new things I want/need to include before release. Some of these tasks are minor tasks while others are major tasks.
Let me show you something I've worked on this week!
I have changed the layout of several menus to a more consistent and clean design.
I have also improved the Load/Save menus to allow more slots per page and also ensured that the game is future proof when I eventually will split the game into chapters.
Your old saves will look a bit weird the first time you play, because the size of the thumbnails has been reduced. All you have to do is load and save your game again to fix that.
Even though Episode 3 will be very big, in terms of the binary size (approximately 3.8-4.0 GB), I will still include Episode 4, in the so called Chapter 1, before splitting the game into a second chapter.
What's next?
As soon as it's possible, I will send the script and a beta version to my proof reader and beta testers. This process will take ~2 weeks once it begins.
I'm really pushing for an August release, but it will be my PCs that decide if that's possible.
Once I have posed all renders and animations, I will be able to give you an approximation of the release date.
Today, however, I can reveal that Episode 3 will be given the title "Episode 3 - 100%".
Have a nice weekend!
